If you need Google sign-in, the usual choices are:
Best common options
-
Firebase Authentication
- Easiest if you want a fast setup
- Built-in Google provider
- Good for web, iOS, Android, and many backend setups
- Nice if you also want email/password, phone auth, etc.
-
Auth0
- Good if you want a more full-featured auth platform
- Supports Google and many other identity providers
- Better for enterprise-style apps, SSO, advanced rules, and flexible login flows
-
Google Identity Services directly
- Best if you only need Google login and want less vendor dependency
- You’ll handle more of the app/session logic yourself
- Good for simple web apps
-
NextAuth / Auth.js if you’re using Next.js
- Easy Google OAuth integration
- Great for web apps built with Next.js
- You still manage your own session/database strategy
Quick recommendation
- Simple app / fastest setup: Firebase Auth
- Next.js app: Auth.js (NextAuth)
- Need enterprise/advanced auth: Auth0
- Only Google login, want control: Google Identity Services
If you tell me your stack, I can recommend the best one more specifically.
